Yesterday (November 19th) we were walking our dogs through City Park and noticed that all of the trash and recycling containers located on the Custer side of City Park were knocked/blown over and the trash was spilling out. I picked them all back up, put the trash/recycling inside them, closed them and put them against things (sign posts, etc) to help keep them from being blown over (assuming that is how they fell over). Perhaps the waste removal company could use containers that can stand up to the wind so that our park isn't trashed by trash that people tried to dispose of properly.

I also have a couple of these Totes, when empty, they are subject to gravity. if wheel axle is not placed counter to the curve of my drive, Till something is in them. (let me explain)
What I have noticed in the pass, (at the park) the Totes along Washington, West side of N. Custard, do not get compromised, the ones which remain standing, in a storm, are on flat ground to start with.
A couple of weeks ago, (No storm) seems like 75% or more were tipped over, on P /U day, I can not believe, that Mr. Tringali, or the Truck Driver, would stand for them to be left that way.
The ones I see discombobulated, to the world, are on the hump, or unevenness at the Curb.
If empty, and some one is in a car, flips the cover over, this could cause the Tote to lean backwards.
(I personally, like them at the curb, and use them, quite often, I eat in my car quite often, enjoying the sun and its warmth.

I don't need a physics lesson, I understand the purpose behind the design, I understand wind events, I really wasn't looking to engage in a debate on the issue, I certainly don't want an e-mail notification every time you feel the urge to chime in. Jeez, give it a rest and let the city look at the situation and see if they can come up with a solution.

Sorry, I was offering, brain storming..(it was not directed at the poster)
is there a solution to "KIDS TIPPING THEM OVER ?"
I was trying to keep from saying that. I, witnessed one day, kids flipping the covers, totes falling over was the entertainment, My totes, same type & size, from Tringali, didnt get blown over, Yes, I was looking at the cost effectiveness. in the long run, I feel they are well used.

Signs in the city right away, at 14 & Bywood, also at other areas on 14 mile.
Signs are not allowed on City Property. and to advertise liquor etc. makes it look like a Urban Street.
This was mention at some meeting, of course there was the moon walk, I dont work week ends etc. well these are up most of the time, Only A frames on store side walk, are allowed. I think

Code Enforcement Officer drove by on October 6th and removed 5 signs and the public right of way and another on the public right away @ Bywood Square. If this problems continues to be a problem please email the Code Officer at bchambers@cityofclawson.com or reopen a new issue. Thank you for your patience.

At 1 pm on October 27th I had Bigby Coffee remove side street signs. Police and Code are removing political signs on the PROW. Removal of signs is currently being enforced by 1) Police 2) Building Official 3) Code.

There are far too many close calls at 14 Mile and Main Intersection. When I'm in the left turn lane facing east to turn south on Main and once the light turns to a green arrow people facing west to go south think they have the right a way to turn right when I have a green light. Can a "No Turn on Red" sign please be installed to this intersection?

Your description doesn't make any sense. The problem as I see it is that the turn lane lights go to green arrow first then go to flashing yellow and then change to RED. Drivers enter the intersection thinking that they will be able to finish their turn, but often get stuck out there after the light changes. MOST other intersections have flashing yellow and then a GREEN arrow for protected turns. The city of Clawson changed all the traffic lights recently and not many drivers can comprehend the change!

I agree there is a problem that people don't seem to remember a yellow light means you should be prepared to stop no matter if it's flashing or not. But my complaint is that when the light finally turns green oncoming traffic has been turning right going south on main when the left turn lane has the green light

Drivers are not properly using the new traffic signal which allows left turners to go first. After green signal, left turners must stay behind line until traffic clears. If traffic doesn't clear, must wait until next light.

Agreed that drivers are not using it correctly......But please explain how drivers that have been driving for 5-10-30+ years are suppose to know how this "new" traffic signal works the first time they come across it. If you change the "norm" you create situations like this.

The left turn lane light should NOT flash yellow after it is green. It should be a solid RED to prevent this situation from occuring. The new lights have done more harm than good to this and other intersections in Clawson!

Not all Traffic lights are the same . I have seen the Red come on, and I have seen the yellow, come on, which allows for a left turn on yellow, it also hangs you out to dry, if traffic doesn't clear before red.. That my fellow tax payers, happens right here in River City,
This is more of a M-dot issue, (or county) I tot agreed, but would not say some one is using a light wrong, to me it would depend on which light. while in the 90* left turn lane, I do sit and watch people get caught........

Addresses on The Curbs
Time to time, ppl with no real job, come into the Clawson Neighborhoods, some times to lead residents into believing they rep. the City. or have the Cities Permission. One of the First times, was college kids, who had a pretty good toe hold in the N W section. Mr. Tom Palmer, (rest his soul) came over and ran them out of town, or until they had permission of City Council. They discontinued their actions.
3 or 4 years ago, the signage on the curbs, wore off in two winters.
I look at the painting of city curbs (city property) and fall under the No Signs on City Property, at least not till My City Council, and Planning Commision can look into this matter. at the very least they are coming to the door, unwanted. (looks in disarray, when this hose has a white block and that one doesn't , it is city property.

Overgrown weeds and blight on the corner turn of Dreon and Stephen. City property but resident has attempted to dress up with red woodchips. This corner overgrown and an eye sore for neighboring residents and company. Street sign is also bent / damaged and needs to be fixed.
